Philosophy

Our management philosophy is simple: leave the land in a better state than we found it. Leveraging a background in ecological science, statistics, and years of on the ground forestry experience, Patrick can help you meet your objectives for your land.

Patrick has worked throughout East Cascade forests since 2020. In Northern California, he worked on a team of several other foresters overseeing the planting of over 300,000 trees in areas decimated by wildfire. During his time at the DNR, he worked throughout Kittitas and Yakima counties on timber sales prioritizing forest health. As the Teanaway Forester, he oversaw the completion of over 500 acres of young stand thinning and created multiple strategic fuel breaks off main roads. Much of the slash material that was generated was utilized to create beaver dam analogues and for floodplain restoration. 

Patrick has learned from and worked closely with professionals from a myriad of backgrounds, from habitat biologists and botanists, to fire bosses managing 30 person crews, to archeologists and GIS specialists, to district and unit foresters. 

We work with our clients to identify their goals and objectives first. From there, we can offer advice, draw up a plan, or prepare forest treatments to work towards those goals. All recommendations are made with forest and ecosystem health in mind. We can accomplish your goals AND work towards a healthier forest, one that will be more resilient to drought, wildfire, disease, and insects.
